I am looking for a Col de Dame Gris. Is there anyone out there interested in trading or selling me a plant or cuttings? Please PM me and let's see if we can come together on a trade/price/selling of my soul/ . . . ?Thanxmgginva__________________Michael in Virginia (zone 7a) Wish list: Agrigento, Malta Purple Red, Perretta

It's THE fig to get, or one of them :) Other figs have gone for over $200 for a cutting just rooted but this one isn't even available anywhere I've seen :)__________________Wish list: My Col de Dame Gris died from unknown causes so I need to replace that, too :(Galicia Negra, Martineca Rimada, Genovese Nero - both kinds, Pont Tresa, Kesariani, Sbayi, Toni's Italian Brown, De La Senyora, Barnisotte Gris, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, Col de Dame Blanca-Negra, A real Smith, any Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Thank you. I was hoping I'd be able to package a trade as I've got some good figs (70 varieties) and I'm not asking for something for nothing.__________________Michael in Virginia (zone 7a) Wish list: Agrigento, Malta Purple Red, Perretta

Mgginva, send me a PM. I have Col de Dame Gris. Ipurchased my tree from Jon last year. My tree is growing nicely with plenty of figs on. I can start an air layer for you but I can't do cuttings.__________________Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8aCutting/air layer wish list: Kesariani

They are coming Martin. I gotta find a easier way to drop them down to under 1m. I got a solution, but it's gonna take bit ofeffort using my IPad.....but it will be faster.__________________Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8aCutting/air layer wish list: Kesariani

Dennis i was just messing with you but its a good thing your doing for that fella Mg er i think it may be a fella heck i thought You with name snaglpus , Rafed and BlB may have been Gals at first until later seeing folks call you fella's by names.All in fun i fell good today as migraine finally is going away as i got a hold of some good meds . ; )

Here's my CDD Gris. I just got this plant this spring and it is putting on nice growth. It actually looks better than my CDD Noir and Blanc even though they are at lest a year older. Thanks to a very generous and good guy fig grower on this forum for providing this one to me.

***** all my figs have FMV/FMD, in case you're wondering. ********** and... i don't sell things. what little i have will be posted here in winter for first come first serve base to be shared. no, i'm not a socialist...*****

Yes I had fruits and they are second to none for taste, and flavor,as grown in my Back yard.It is a late ripening cultivar ,especially when young,but I know it will become earlier as an adult tree,when it stops growing up.So far I planted three trees for myself,and you know I do not keep bad cultivars ,more than 4 years to get a good idea,about them.I am going to take some cuttings but not a lot of them,as to chop the tree down as i need to get it to adult stage as it is only 4 years old.This one is a cultivar like Maltese Falcon,in that is a little more sensitive to adverse conditions especially when young so yes if you need a care free tree it is not for you,but if you want to take good care of it then the rewards will be great.If you live in a ideal climate,warm and mild ,then it can grow care free.__________________I am :Hermansur,on Ebay

severe cold or not enough long Summer to get them ripe properly.Lack of full sun,in your climate will get you nowhere with this cultivar,you must have full sun,all day.!__________________I am :Hermansur,on Ebay

I am assuming it's a good candidate for forcing then? I don't have a big hoophouse, 14 x 12' so I was going to let some of the later ripening varieties sit in the greenhouse from April or so with a floating row cover during the night on cold nights and days, if any freezes are expect just bring them back inside for the time was my thought to getting a good crop of figs on these types, has anyone had luck doing this?__________________Canada Zone 6B

Well if anyone has one of these for me to buy or trade for I'd be happy to have some PMs, too :)__________________Wish list: My Col de Dame Gris died from unknown causes so I need to replace that, too :(Galicia Negra, Martineca Rimada, Genovese Nero - both kinds, Pont Tresa, Kesariani, Sbayi, Toni's Italian Brown, De La Senyora, Barnisotte Gris, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, Col de Dame Blanca-Negra, A real Smith, any Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.
